Not as yet, chances are we'll find out the fate of Colin Morgan's endearing wizard shortly before or shortly after series five completes its run at the end of the year. It's pure speculation at this point, but we reckon Merlin's chances of getting a sixth series are about 50/50...

On the one hand, it's still popular and is one of the few shows that can stand up to The X Factor - Merlin regularly draws solid audiences of 6-7 million up against ITV's reality TV behemoth.

But on the other hand, series creators Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy have spoken of their desire to produce a Merlin movie trilogy once the TV iteration comes to a natural conclusion.

And with stars Eoin Macken (Gwaine) and Tom Hopper (Percival) both signing up for US pilots - the former's joined NBC's After Hours while the latter's signed up for pirate drama Black Sails - you'd be forgiven for thinking that Merlin's days might be numbered. So it's very much a case of wait-and-see, we're afraid...

Like Merlin, Misfits is faced with a rather uncertain future - with a fresh-faced new cast taking centre stage for the E4 comedy-drama's fourth series, the show's in a strong position creatively. New characters mean new story possibilities, after all...

But it's impossible to deny that ratings are on the decline - the series four premiere attracted just 777,000 viewers - with +1 figures helping Misfits build to a final audience figure of just over 1m. That's down on series three's 1.7m launch and series two's 1.4m debut.

That said, series four's numbers are still *very* good for E4 in that Sundays at 10pm time-slot, so chances are the channel's still pretty happy with the performance of Misfits - we're going to go ahead and say that a fifth series order is a more likely prospect than cancellation.

I'm missing Bad Education already! I don't suppose there's any news on when it will be back?

Well, it's far too early to give you the ins and outs of series two yet, buuuuuut we at Digital Spy did hear from a (somewhat partied-out) Jack Whitehall that he is writing new episodes of Bad Education at this very moment. Sarah Solemani (Miss Gulliver) then shed more light on the show's return by revealing to us that filming is scheduled to start in Februrary 2013.

Whitehall did also give a few hints of what to expect in Bad Education's sophomore series, but unless his character Alfie Wickers really is going to get "gang-banged" while Matt Smith and Benedict Cumberbatch "get off with each other", we think he's joking.

I've heard tons of good stuff about BBC Four's new signing Parks and Recreation. What's it about?

We were jumping for joy this week when the beeb finally confirmed (after apparently letting slip the news a little earlier than intended) that cult US comedy Parks and Recreation will finally be making its way to our shores.

In a nutshell, Parks and Rec is an Office-style mockumentary capturing life at the titular department of Pawnee, a fictional town in Indiana. The star of the show is Leslie Knope, a sunny and, initially at least, slightly ditzy bureaucrat played by Amy Poehler. Her pledge to turn a giant construction pit into a beautiful park after the boyfriend of a character played by Rashida Jones (The Social Network, Friends with Benefits) falls and breaks his legs is the driving force of the first season.

Also making a big impact at the department are Leslie's ex-lover and city planner Mark Brendanawicz (Paul Schneider), her sarcastic, underachieving subordinateTom Haverford (Aziz Ansari) and her boss Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), owner of the world's most impressive moustache.

Parks and Recreation has already aired for four seasons in the US, with a fifth on its way, so it's not known at the minute just how many episodes BBC Four have snapped up the rights to. Since the first season consists of a puny six parts, we're guessing that they've at least got plans to run the next one as well. We certainly hope so, because the show isn't quite complete until Adam Scott and Rob Lowe come on board towards the end of season two.

What's going down with Switch on ITV2? What's the likelihood of a second series?

Not a lot is 'going down' at the minute we're afraid, young Switch fan. For those who haven't heard of the programme, let us bring you up to speed - Lacey Turner, Hannah Tointon, Nina Toussaint-White and Phoebe Fox are normal girls, only they're witches... and that's about it really. We tried to magic a response about Switch's future out of ITV2, but they told us that they "don't have any news yet", though they'll let us know once something's been confirmed.

At least you're not the only one clamouring for a second series - Lacey herself told Digital Spy before the show premiered that she "would love" a repeat outing "for selfish reasons" like getting to hang out with her gal pals again. We know from watching Eastenders that she can be quite intimidating at times so, if Switch series two is what Lacey wants...

Has an air date been confirmed for Jack Taylor on Channel 5?For those of you not in the know, Channel 5 has acquired Irish drama series Jack Taylor - based on Ken Bruen's series of novels about a sharp-tongued former cop, and brought to televisual life by Game of Thrones star Iain Glenn.

First aired in Ireland in 2010, Taylor's debut outing 'The Guards' is currently scheduled to air on Channel 5 next month. The final transmission date is yet to be nailed down, but we hear it'll likely screen in the second week of December.
